A sIOgging Match Between Light
weights.
PHILADELPHIA, March 20. = The
fight between Jimmy Mitchell OF this
city, and Paddy Smith OF Brooklyn,
for the Police Gazette diamond belt,
and the light weight championship
| Of America, took place tonight on the
| fifth floor of a building in the heart of
the CITY. Sixteen rounds were fought,
| when the fight was declared a draw,
| amid a scene OF wild confusion. In
the first eight rounds Mitchell acted
very cautiously, apparently lacking
confidence. but after that regained
nerve, and it was plain to all that
Smith was overmatched. In the 10th
round Mitchell struck Smith a heavy
blow in the stomach. causing him to
fall on his face from sheer weakness.
Then the seconds rushed in, and their
wrangling caused a general rush OF
the spectators to the ring. A scene OF
disorder ensued, in the midst of which
the referee declared the fight a draw.
The noise attracted the attention OF a
policeman on beat, who at once
guarded the narrow exit with a re-
~volver, and blew his whistle for help.
Several OF the spectators escaped by
a rear window, but quite a number
we're arrested. The police captured
Mitchell and Smith and eight specta-
tors. The prisoners were locked up, and
charged with prize fighting. A magis-
trate was sent for at l O'Clock, and
gave them an immediate hearing,
and allowed them to furnish bail.
